Unlike Liang En's previous imagination of galloping straight to the destination, the team boarded a small boat directly at the pier in the west of the city, and then followed the river all the way west.
In addition to Liang En and Lin An, there was also a five-man team of Jin Yiwei on the ship, and the leader was Tian Zongqi, the top commander of the local Baihu Station whom Liang En had met before.
The composition of this team can also be called luxurious. In addition to Mr. Tian Qi and two team members who are martial arts cultivators, there is also Yuan Ru, a Confucian and Taoist mage, and a doctor who believes in various medical gods.
Unlike other countries in Europe and the West, China's belief in gods is much more secular. Compared with the strict priest system in the West, Chinese gods rarely have professional priests, and more are part-time priests like this doctor.
They often engage in work that is consistent with the direction of the gods and priests they believe in, and strengthen their beliefs in their work. At the same time, they use the power given to them by the gods to continuously improve in their work.
For example, this is the case with the doctor in the current team. He not only knows various medical methods, but also masters many magical arts related to medical treatment, purification, and detoxification.
At the same time, this team is not a makeshift team, but an elite team trained from the Habayashi Guards. This is why their names are Tian Eryi, Zhao Shiliu, Li Qi, Wednesday and Wang Shi.
Seven's sake.
Because they were Yulin orphans trained by the Habayashi Guards, they chose to keep their original names in the orphan camp after choosing to become the Habayashi Guards, instead of changing their names like those who left.
In other words, they think that these names with numbers are an honor, and only those who have passed many tests and stayed in the Habayashi Guards are qualified to have such names.
It is very simple to have such an idea, because the Habayashi Guards are a force established by Zhengshitang in imitation of the elite troops of the Han Dynasty. Although they are not large in number, they have won every battle since their establishment. They often even fight one against three, or even one against five.
achievements.
Except for a very small number of people, most of this army comes from the descendants of officials and civilians who died in the service of the government and were adopted by the political hall. However, most of these adopted Yulin orphans can only use the knowledge they learned to engage in other tasks.
industry, only elite volunteers can join the Habayashi Guards.
Due to this selection method of selecting the best from the best, the number of Habayashi Guards to this day is only more than 10,000, of which 1,000 will guard the palace, while the others are distributed in various places to deal with supernatural events in various places.
Tian Zongqi's team is one of the sent Habayashi Guards. They are usually on standby most of the time, and will only take action when encountering difficult problems.
"It seems that this action is indeed very important." After briefly introducing himself, Liang En suddenly raised the importance of this matter several levels in his heart.
So as their small boat sailed into the vast Taihu Lake, Liang En subconsciously held the hilt of his sword and tensed up slightly.
Getting further away from the shore, looking at the 36,000 hectares of waves, the green peaks of 72 should make people feel relaxed and happy, but the extremely empty lake surface also makes Liang En, who is now nervous, full of uneasiness.
In his opinion, there seemed to be countless monsters hidden under the turquoise lake water that could rush to the surface at any time and tear him and the boat apart together.
"Don't be nervous, young man." As a veteran who has been fighting on the front line for several years, Tian Zongqi naturally has seen many people like Liang En, so he comforted him.
"The Dragon King of Taihu is the righteous god canonized by the imperial court, so the entire Taihu Lake is under the surveillance of the Dragon King. Although there are some things that can circumvent the observation of the Dragon King and his subordinates, those things will not be our opponents."
"Sorry, I was overthinking it."
Liang En breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Tian Zongqi's comfort. To be honest, even though his level of extraordinary cultivation is not low now, it still puts a heavy burden on his body because he keeps tensing up.
"No, it's a good thing that you can stay vigilant." Seeing Liang En quickly adjust himself, Tian Zongqi's mouth hidden under his beard also twitched slightly, but he quickly warned him seriously.
"I have sent off many colleagues, and a large part of them were attacked by the enemies after losing their vigilance, so there is nothing wrong with staying vigilant at all times."
"It's just that the way of civil and military affairs is to relax. Being vigilant like you all the time will only drag you down. You should learn to allocate your energy more accurately-"
Although he looks quite rough and arrogant, as someone who has been able to stand on the front line of the battle for many years and still be completely alive, Mr. Tian Qi is definitely not a pure brute as he appears.
So even if he just gave Liang En a few words, Liang En felt that he had benefited a lot, and it also made him realize that as a person who grew up in a peaceful world without extraordinary power, he had some abilities when facing extraordinary powers.
Many shortcomings.
"Excuse me, can I ask you questions in the future?"
After Mr. Tian finished broadcasting the banner, Liang En asked cautiously. His previous experience at the City God's Temple made him realize that the knowledge in this world is far more precious than that in the other world, and it is more difficult to learn.
"Well - let's wait until this operation is over." After thinking for a few seconds, Tian Zongqi said.
After getting this answer, Liang En did not continue to pester, but adjusted his state according to Tian Zongqi's guidance so that he could maintain vigilance to the surroundings without becoming tense.
This thing is easier said than done, because the speed is difficult to grasp. Fortunately, his cultivation level is not bad, so when the boat approached Peach Blossom Island, he finally mastered this skill.
Peach Blossom Island is a small island located in the north of Taihu Lake. It is famous for the peach trees all over the island. In spring, the entire island is covered in pink smoke-like peach blossoms.
It's a pity that it's almost winter now, so the peach blossoms on Peach Blossom Island have already withered, and even the leaves on the trees look a little sparse.
The most attractive thing is the two giant trees nestled together in the center of the island. The two trees are more than 150 meters high visible to the naked eye, and surrounding the trees is a circle of traditional Chinese trees that look quite light.
Wind architecture.
Giant trees, woods and lakes are perfectly integrated.
As the distance gets closer, you can see that the covered bridges connecting the buildings seem to be growing out of the big trees, and the buildings are perfectly embedded in the hibiscus trees, with almost no trace of construction visible.
This is a three-dimensional castle, and you can see many mountain ghosts haunting it.
"Finally I'm home, and I suddenly felt that the somewhat boring and peaceful life is so precious." Lin An, who walked out of the cabin at this time, sighed softly, and the corners of his eyes were slightly moist.
He is not a fragile person, but after walking between life and death, he suddenly found that he was very homesick and missed his relatives very much.
"Yeah, that's why we came here."
Tian Zongqi, who was originally in the cabin, came to the bow of the ship at some point and said to the two young people.
"There is a storm brewing, and some guys are trying to destroy this peace in the dark. What we have to do now is to find it, eliminate it, and bury it."
